Before I would go smoking and drinking with friends. A lot of people knew who I was, and after a *cough* err..demanding girlfriend, i really prefer to stay home and not go out...really am HITORIBOCCHI now... for the past 2 years.

How long have you been a loner?
Did you give up on people?
if so, why?
What do you generally dislike about them
How well does it suit you?

mm, like 9 years or so. Yes I did. Well it was a mixture of fear and disgust. When I was 8 years old I came very close to being raped by someone who I had thought to be my friend, even now I sometimes have nightmares of it. And he wasn't punished in any way, by anybody. What I generally dislike is just something I feel from most people, a sense of falseness, which probably doesn't make any sense but I don't know how better to describe it. It suits me very well. The few friends I have; I have confidence in and feel very certain that I can trust. I just prefer it, ppl annoy me easily, but when I'm alone I can relax and truly enjoy myself.

Loners seek other loners...since, I was a child I been alone since I interpret human as Human are basically evil. When I'm in a group of people I feel unfortable. Despite that people seek me. So am I truly a loner or am in the middle ?

I dont know for how long i have been a loner.
I guess since i am technically an only child i have always been lonely. I am also what you would call the "black sheep" of the family since my personal preferences are "odd". I am the only atheist in my family, i am too honest in a family of hypocrites and i am too opinionated and so on. I dont know I am not trying to sound like a victim but my family is the kind of family to which my parents wouldnt get invited to spend xmas with the Whole family because of me. So, I dont know i always grew up as an outcast.

I have known a couple of people that i could call my best friends but only like two and im not in touch with them anymore. One i just lost contact because i moved and the other just decided we had become too different to remain friends.

So, Yes i have given up on people. I dont hate people or anything i just can no longer connect with them. I dont think it was by choice or a sudden harsh event, there were many things that made me become suspicious of peoples intentions and now i just cant trust them. Is not that i wont trust i just cant and after so many years i say it now suits me and i feel pretty comfortable being lonely. I always feel nervous in a crowd, or spotlight. I like being lonely perhaps at the beginning circumstances pushed me too be lonely but now i like it, so i guess it doesnt make a difference anymore how i became lonely the fact is that i am a loner.

i don't think that you can be a loner,let's be honest,even if you are the kind of person that hates people and all you do dream about someone,you do get tired of being lonely a day...everybody needs somebody,but people usually become loners because they are rejected by society because of stupid diferences
